The federal government has issued new guidelines for what its employees can and can't do to support favored presidential candidates.
So if your paycheck comes from Uncle Sam, feel free to like one, but don't "like" one, at least until you're off the clock. Same goes for political sparring with Uncle Randy in the comment section.
If your job is in intelligence or law enforcement, you can "like" or comment on a tweet from a candidate when you're not working — but you can't share or retweet it even when you're off duty.
And if you're on a coffee or lunch break at the office, you must walk out of your building to post anything on social media that would be considered partisan, even from your personal smart phone or laptop. Even from the bathroom or cafeteria.
